Hi everyone,

I am new to this site so please bear with me. I have a 2000 328i sedan and a couple of weeks ago my radio went out. The radio display only says "Phone" or "Wait" when I turn it on. I didn't disconnect my battery or make any changes to my car. One day it simply failed. I researched and read that I needed to put the key in for about 30 minutes and the radio would ask me for the radio code. Did that and voila it worked.... or so I thought. When I turned it on the next day, bam!!, same "Phone" on the display. It has been this way for a couple of weeks and I have noticed that when I leave the car parked out in hot weather for a couple of hours it works. I come in turn on the car and the radio works. If I leave the car parked out in cool weather it only gives me the "Wait" or "Phone" on the display.

Any ideas or suggestions?
